dhw: I thought we had agreed that there IS an evolutionary mechanism (the intelligent cell/genome) and that the defect lay in Darwin's reliance on random mutations. As for theories, atheist interpreters of Darwin draw atheist conclusions from his theory; theist interpreters draw theist conclusions. These conclusions are not "based on science", because there is no scientific evidence whatsoever that chance can create life and the mechanisms of evolution, or that there is a hidden quantum mind which has designed them in order to teach humans the lessons of tough love!-Yes, we agreed, but you stopped at your fence. Quantum reality starts with consciousness first. All of the quantum theorists end up with that conclusion. Here is a theist's compilation of those conclusions:-https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G_Fi50ljF5w_XyJHfmSIZsOcPFhgoAZ3PRc_ktY8cFo/edit-So yes, one can conclude a'hidden quantum mind' without needing much faith. Faith comes after the realizations quoted therein.
